we are obviously witnessing a difference in mindset here.... I have to go to my damn house closing walkthrough. I decided to go with a brand new, better, more energy efficient house at a cheaper price rather than a 40 year old house that may be pretty and hold a lot of nostalgic value to some, wasn't the right fit for me.
Definatly a different mindset, I traded my 100 year old house for a 150 year old house last year. We are having a heatwave in the UK, today was the hottest July day for a century. My house is stone built and is lovely and cool.
Mind you I grew up in a pub that was 400 years old, the walls were 2ft thick and it never got cold in the winter and never got hot in the summer. So not all old design is bad design.
